The Spare Room is an exclusive small bar located within the fabled Hotel Roosevelt in West Hollywood.
This unique bar features 2 bowling lanes which actually seem to blend in with the very swanky decor.
The main feature of the bar are the cocktails.
This was the drink of choice Amoxycillin. Not for faint hearted.
Of course if cocktail are not your thing they do have Chimay.
This really is a very cool place with one of the coolest soundtracks that I have heard in a while. Reservations are needed after 9pm.

Scampo is located in the funky Liberty Hotel in Boston. It is one of the homes of Boston celebrity chef Lydia Shire.
I visited on a Sunday afternoon the the place was nice and quiet.. The restaurant is situated in the West End of Boston right beside Mass General Hospital.
There was a bit of confusion regarding the free Wi-fi but I was very impressed by the staffs help in getting it to work.
Nothing outstanding about the food but it was very good.
I even had pizza.(no cheese of course)
The Irish coffee was very good and finished off a very pleasant afternoon.

Brasserie Jo is located in the Colonnade Hotel on the edge of Back Bay in Boston.
Nothing really interesting about the decor or atmosphere. It is a comfortable place to eat though.
The wine list is excellent and they do serve Chimay my favorite beer.
Scallops were gluton free and very tasty.
Steak frites was very good. No complaints at all.
I do not indulge in dessert but I am assured that it was yummy.To make a reservation
